Just when you thought you couldn't like Donald Driver more, there's this. Not much else to say here. There aren't too many classy, selfless athletes out there and Donald is one of them. He is going to be sorely missed.
PS: As much as I want it to, I don't think anyone should be marking their calendars for a Driver number retirement day anytime soon. Packers have only retired FIVE numbers in their history and after Dave Robinson goes into the Hall they will have had 22 hall of famers. Again, I want that for Donald but at the same time I love that this franchise doesn't retire everyone's number like other teams do. It's an exclusive club. You'd imagine Favre will be next but how awesome would it be if this brain trust (Thompson, McCarthy, Murphy) did decide to retire #80 and did it BEFORE Favre just to show what being classy and humble gets you.
Double PS: 'Not much else to say here' is just something we say at Strange Brew.
